Ghostopolis
Today’s blog is about the book i read titled Ghostopolis by Doug TenNapel. It is a fictional graphic novel about a kid named Garth Hale who finds out he has special powers when he is accidentally taken to the ghost world in the after life. The place is called Ghostopolis and is were he meets the ghost of his grandfather Cecil.
Frank Gallows is a ghost wrangler who doesn’t like his job at all but he is the best so they keep him on duty. In an attempt to catch a nightmare horse he mistakenly zaps Garth who was in the way. Garth’s mom freaks out and Frank is fired. Frank feels responsible and wants to bring Garth back home. The only way to get to the ghost world is by traveling on a plasma pod so Frank goes to his ex-fiancee Claire who happens to be a ghost herself and had built a plasma pod.
While at Ghostopolis, Garth meets Skinny, the skeleton horse Frank tried to capture. They became very close and Skinny protects Garth. They met up with Cecil, Garth’s grandpa who looks like a kid and slowly grows up to an adult. He also protects Garth from the gangs of giant bugs under the command of the evil leader Vaughner. They were on the lookout for Garth the human boy. Vaughner knew Garth had special powers and he wanted the power for himself to control and rule Ghostopolis forever.
Frank and Claire finally made it to the afterlife and found Garth. To get back home they had to get electricity from the power plant to get enough electrical energy to zap them back. However the plant was in Vaugner’s lair and it was difficult to get to. They ended up getting help from the Bone King and his army. The Bone King ruled one of the seven kingdoms that Vaughner controlled for a long time and finally decided it was time to overthrow the evil ruler. My favorite part is when Garth used his magical powers to defeat Vaughner and obliterated him into thin air. This shows how good is more powerful than evil.
I think the theme of this story is learning to accept ourselves and how our differences can be a good thing. Garth felt that he was different, but being different and having magical powers helped him defeat the evil leader Vaughner and save Ghostopolis for all the unliving. He also realized he was stronger that he thought even if he had a sickness and was dying. His actions and bravery saved the afterlife and made it a better place for those coming after.

The book I just read is titled The Dumbest Idea Ever! by Jimmy Gownley and it is a graphic novel. The book is about how’s the author’s life changed when he got sick with chickenpox at 13 years old. What happened to him back then changed his life.
Jimmy lived with his parents in a small town in Pennsylvania. Nothing much ever happened in Giradville. He went to catholic school and played in the basketball team with his best friend Frankie. He was a good student that got staight A’s. Everything was going well for him until one day he got
sick with chickenpox. When he got sick he missed school for two weeks and feel behind in his school work. Then when he went back to school he got sick again with pneumonia and the doctor said he had to stay home another two weeks. With all that happening to him he was no longer a straight A
student and lost the chance to play in the basketball championship and his team lost. Now he felt his life had no meaning. He spent the summer hanging out with the kids from the public school and played videos games all summer long. When he started high school he felt like he was average like everyone else and thought that maybe making a comic book would make his life have meaning because he created the book by himself.
My favorite part of the book is when Jimmy gave his finished comic book to his new friend Tony Graziano to read. He was so excited to finish the comic book but Tony told him he didn’t like it. He said because it was the same as every other comic book about super heroes. He gave him the idea to write a comic book about Jimmy’s own life. “THAT’S THE DUMBEST IDEA I’VE EVER HEARD!!!” replied Jimmy. But then he actually liked the idea and agreed to try it. It took a while to finish the comic book and finally he finished it and now his friends liked it because it was about them too. He sold copies of the book at school and many students bought them.
At the end Jimmy realized his life did have meaning even if he was not as popular as before. this experience started the beginning of the rest of his life as a comic book writer. He has inspired many young writers to not be afraid to write about themselves in a good way.

One word
I chose the word FOCUS because this is something I need in my life right now. This word connects to all parts of me - my family life, my school life and my personal life. I know that I need to focus so that I can be successful in all I do in 2018.
My word FOCUS means that in my family life I will be more attentive to my parents and younger brother. I will pay attention to things like keeping my room clean, picking up after myself and helping around the house. I will take time to do my chores the right way so I don’t have to redo them. Being focused will also help me not to say something mean and hurt someone’s feelings. It will remind me to say sorry when I should.
Living my word FOCUS will also change my life because it will change my attitude towards school. I will take time to FOCUS on my school work and understand how important it is for my future. I don’t always like school and it’s difficult for me sometimes. This shows in my school work when it seems like I’m not focused at all.
Finally, being focused will help in my personal life. The first step I’ll take to live this word is to FOCUS and be a better listener. When I listen closely to others I will hear what they have to say and then I can answer the right way. This will make conversations more interesting for me and I won’t just wander off in my head. I will try to make the other person feel good and for them to want to talk to me. This will help my personal life as I get older.
I look forward to using my word FOCUS as much as I can. I will FOCUS so that I can have the best family life, school life and personal life in 2018 and beyond!

This book is about Hades the Greek god of the underworld. His realm is also known as Hades or hell. The story is about when he met his bride Persephone. My favorite part of the story is when the author describes the different parts of the underworld and what they are for.
The main character is controlling and powerful of everything but at the same time is caring and loving to Persephone. I know this because he has the power to summon anyone to the underworld but when he brought her he treated her with respect and was patient with her. He gave her time to get used to living in the underworld and made her feel special.
I like the book because it was creative in how it described what happens in the underworld. The story was interesting. I would recommend this book to a friend who likes graphic novels. I think the theme of the book is that love can be found anywhere even in the underworld.
